Well, anyone knows the meaning of “Up the lorry?”
In our Asian context, especially the Chinese in Singapore, when we say “somebody up the lorry already” it literally means that the person has died. (Sorry for the use of Singlish).
This conversation was between my hubby and sonny Ien. Yeah this young chap can talk things which surprise us from time to time.
Hubby was driving one day…
Hub: “Jia lat, up the lorry” (means Damn, die!)
Well, he was sharing with me, he was mentioning something and the words just came out like that….
Ien was sitting at the back of the car.
Ien: “Dad, which type of lorry do you want? They are many…”
Hub: *Speechless!
That was interesting, I have never heard that word used before with that meaning.
Wel,l we learn something new every day. Thanks.
Yeah, it’s lifelong learning for all of us. I am also learning new things from fellow bloggers like you too. 😉
